Abstract

(1) Along representative cross sections of the Apennines and the Northern Barbados accretionary prisms, we measured the area, the decollement depth, the angle a of the upper envelope and the angle b of the dip of the regional monocline. The continental sections of the Apennines accretionary prism have a deeper decollement than the oceanic sections of the Northern Barbados, 6-10 km depth and
